The Maharashtra Directorate of the National Cadet Corps (NCC) is set to introduce drone operating training for cadets, recognizing the technology's growing importance in various sectors including disaster management and national security. The initiative will commence with a pilot project in Nagpur, where the NCC is procuring drones for training purposes. Each group headquarters across the state is anticipated to receive between three and five drones based on local needs. This program aligns with a nationwide initiative to develop a pool of trained drone instructors, with the first batch having graduated from the NCC Officers Training Academy in Kamptee. Successful trainees will earn Remote Pilot Certificates from the Directorate General of Civil Aviation. The NCC believes that early exposure to drone technology will equip cadets with valuable skills for both civilian and defense applications. Furthermore, drones are expected to play a vital role in emergency situations, facilitating search-and-rescue operations and delivering supplies to hard-to-reach areas. The program will gradually extend to all NCC groups following the assessment of the Nagpur pilot's outcomes.
